Working with Sequa: An Overview
The chat interface is the heart of Sequa. It’s your direct, conversational line to the entire knowledge base of your product—from the code and its history to documentation, requirements, and team decisions. Instead of searching, you ask. Instead of digging, you have a conversation.
This is your starting point for asking architectural questions, tracing code history, and getting help with implementation details.
The Conversational Interface
The chat is designed to understand natural language. Simply ask your question as if you were talking to a senior developer on your team. Sequa analyzes your intent and queries its knowledge graph to provide a comprehensive answer grounded in your actual codebase and documentation.
Good questions fall into several categories:
| Category | Example Questions |
|---|---|
| Architecture & Design | "Show me a diagram of the services involved in the user signup process.""How does our billing and subscription logic work?" |
| Code Location & Usage | "Where is our user authentication logic handled?""Find all uses of the 'legacy_api' function across all repositories." |
| History & Intent | "Why was the caching strategy for the user profile page changed last month?""Who was the last person to modify the database connection pool settings?" |
| Implementation Help | "Show me an example of how to properly add a new database migration.""What's the best practice for adding a new REST endpoint in the API service?" |
The Tool Library: For Deeper Analysis
For more complex or recurring analysis tasks, you can use the Tool Library. Access it via the dedicated “Tool Library” button to find pre-built commands that perform deep, structured analyses, such as generating a full service overview or scanning for security risks.

Trust and Transparency: Verifiable Answers
Every answer from Sequa includes links to the Sources it used, whether that’s a specific file, a commit, a documentation page, or a task. This allows you to instantly verify the information and dive deeper into the original context, ensuring that you can always trust the answers you receive.
Sharing and Collaboration
A conversation in Sequa can be a valuable asset for your team. Once you’ve explored a topic or solved a problem, you can easily share your findings. Anyone in your Sequa organization who has access to the product the chat belongs to can view the shared link. When they open it, they will see a read-only version of the entire conversation, including all questions, answers, code snippets, and sources.
